I've got a similar set that's cream with a grey cabinet, and no pedestal. It doesn't have the woodgrain speaker grill either, but the angled CRT bezel and control placement is exactly the same. I've seen various sets with different cabinet designs that use this chassis. They made some in really funky colors, including a red white and blue bicentennial model, one in fluorescent orange, and lime green.
Mine has a production date tag of 1975.
It's a hybrid chassis with solid state tuner and IF sections, and a solid state HV rectifier.
The set is built in Taiwan, completely out of American made components, including sprague orange drop caps. It still has the classic Zenith style hand wired chassis with solder lug construction. The transistors actually have sockets rather than being soldered into the board.
